What, in your opinion, exactly is smart? Is it looking at someone and seeing something no one else does? Is it finding a new way to do something? Or is it by being the cleverest?

I think smart is figuring out exactly how looking at someone has anything to do with being "smart".
 
My dad must have wondered what smart is. He would often ask; "Are you being smart with me?"
